Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

I know they have a in-progress button but, maybe they should add a in-progress only button as well.

SE's goal is not to give fast runs to impatient people. Their goal is to assist partial parties into becoming full parties, for whatever it is they're trying to get done. When you click that checkbox, you are not telling the game, "I'm impatient or low on time, so gimme a quickie." You are telling the game, "I sympethize with folks who've lost members mid run and would like to lend a hand if there are any out there." If your actual feelings are more in line with the former than the latter, well, sorry, but that wasn't the intent behind the feature, so you'll have to deal.

I think it's funny how many people are getting upset over this new feature. One thing I don't understand is people saying "I don't abuse the DF but what if I miss it three times because I was doing something else?" If you have something else to do shouldn't by all logic do that first?

If you're a job that typically has to wait thirty minutes or more for your queue to pop, you have three options: Do other stuff outside the game while you wait, do other stuff in game while you wait, or stare blankly at the screen, doing nothing, until your eyes explode. If you choose the second or third options, you won't miss your queue, but if you're doing the first option, you could easily miss the queue depending on what you're doing and whether it drowns out the Duty Finder chime noise. And if you miss your queue? Well, that's another half hour wait. Chances are if you picked option one the first time, you'll do the same the second time. And the third time. And if you miss the chime all three times, well, you're done for the day.

That said, I think this will VERY RARELY be a problem. Even if there ARE folks who regularly miss queue three times or more under the current system, once they know about the "three strikes" penalty they're going to be a lot more careful once they've missed a queue or two.
